Hi Daz, is that a Magnex manifold? It looks just like mine, although far far more polished!! I'll second the sound, its not loud but its more fruity than anything else id say. Id be interested to find out what your car is making. Aside from the new 6 brancher what other mods do you have?

Let us know how you get on with the RR when u finally get it on their.

Well done Daz that looks awesome, If it's S/S it'll go all nice and purple :cool:

Wouldn't fancy doing an oil change now though :wink:
Can't the oil filter housing be rotated to make it easier to take off from below?

That actually looks scariliy similar to mine. I think your showing more of the manifold because you have new gaskets on which need pulling down a bit to allow the HT leads a better fit.

What do you guys reckon?

i dnt know what you call it, bed in, settle in, cokes up, get used, etc. Didnt think it existed either :(

when i fitted mines, it took a while to do one of the above untill some good miles, even tho it was a second hand one :mad: go figure.

same as second hand zausts i have had a few of them in my driving years, and to get the effect :roll: (thats if there is such thing) i had to go a few good miles. IMO
